Wow! I’ve had a pretty amazing year! This was an awesome exercise that I worked on for three days. It has helped me remember some wonderful experiences and the friends that shared them with me. I left any bad times out because I like to move forward with my good thoughts. I’m so glad I have this to reflect on.
Next year’s goals/resolutions coming soon!
